Teasing the Korean on WMNF's "Latino 54"

[Teasing the Korean]

Everyone's favorite Organissimo agent provocateur - Teasing the Korean - will be guest-hosting the June 18 (and possibly June 25) editions of "Latino 54" on WMNF. The show airs from 9 am to 10 am Wednesday, and you can listen live at www.wmnf.org . The show will also be archived for a week (until the following show). I will be pre-recording these shows and delivering them, so you can't call up and swear at me while I'm DJing.

I will be spinning classic 1950s Afro Cuban Jazz, Latin Soul, boogaloo, bossa, and exotica.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

What time zone are you in?

[GA Russell]

TTK, make the first few songs really good. If they stink, I won't stick around! (JK!)

[Teasing the Korean]

First, I'm amazed that this thread received all these responses so quickly!

Secondly, I'm thrilled that all my favorite BIG-O HIPSTERS are the ones who replied!

It will be broadcast Wed. June 18 from 9am-10am EST. I may be on the following week also, depending on whether there is a pledge drive that week. Each show will then be archived for a week, until the next show is broadcast.

Now that I know all the hipsters are listening, I have to put together an extra-cool show!!!

[seeline]

We *know* you'll do an extra-cool show; that's why we want to listen.

[JSngry]

Sunnuvabitch, you're in Tampa? I listened to WMNF regularly for the year and a half I lived there. Almost made the experience bearable!

Good luck on the show. I know you got some goodies ready to go!

[Teasing the Korean]

The show will be broadcast Wed. June 18, 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. EST. It will also be archived for a week. Go to www.wmnf.org and go to "schedule." Look for "Latino 54" on Wednesday at 9 a.m. and you'll be able to listen.

Is the programme archived immediately or some time later?

MG

[Teasing the Korean]

It *should* be archived shortly after it finishes at 10 am EST.

Thanks - I guess that's mid-afternoon here.

[Man with the Golden Arm]

Thassa nice set you put up there! esp the Puente Baxter Drasnin segue and the bossa mix that follows ...

[Christiern]

Thanks, I thoroughly enjoyed the show.

[jazzypaul]

looks like an absolutely fantastic set list!

I'll be checking this out ASAP!

[alocispepraluger102]

i just read this. damn.

will def. check the archives.

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Very nice indeed, thanks TTK. And revelatory for me on the Joe Cuba and Les Baxter fronts. So there's another pair of thanks.

MG

[Teasing the Korean]

Thanks to all of you for listening and also the positive comments! It's great to share great music with those who appreciate it!

MG, the Joe Cuba album I played (along with several other JC albums) has been reissued on vinyl:

http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=b8s...p%3Bincl_cs%3D1

Not sure if it's out on CD.

Unfortunately, the two Les Baxter albums with Plas Johnson, "Jungle Jazz" and "African Jazz," have still not had a legitimate CD nor vinyl reissue. You may want to check out LB's "Ritual of the Savage" and "Tamboo," both of which have been reissued on CD.

I just found out that because of WMNF's upcoming pledge minithon, there probably won't be a "Latino 54" on June 25. I'll let you know if I'm asked to fill in on any upcoming shows though.
